Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
multi-faceted
talent
of
Malayalam
cinema
is
teaming
up
with
lady
superstar
Nayanthara,
for
the
upcoming
project
Gold.
The
highly
anticipated
project,
that
marks
the
comeback
of
Premam
director
Alphonse
Puthren
after
a
long
gap
of
6
years,
recently
started
rolling
in
Kochi.
Now,
the
sources
close
to
Gold
have
revealed
a
major
update
on
the
Prithviraj-Nayanthara
project.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
lady
superstar
has
already
started
shooting
for
the
Alphonse
Puthren
directorial.
Nayanthara's
stills
from
the
location
of
the
project,
along
with
her
co-star
Thesni
Khan,
are
now
going
viral.
The
makers
are
expected
to
announce
the
actress's
association
with
Gold
on
social
media,
very
soon.
Reportedly,
leading
man
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
is
yet
to
start
shooting
for
the
Alphonse
Puthren
directorial.
Even
though
nothing
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
genre
of
the
movie,
the
sources
suggest
that
the
Prithviraj-Nayanthara
starrer
is
a
complete
family
entertainer.
Nayanthara
was
originally
supposed
to
team
up
with
director
Alphonse
Puthren
for
the
upcoming
Fahadh
Faasil
project
Paattu.
The
highly
anticipated
project,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
musical
drama,
is
currently
put
on
the
back
burner
to
the
second
wave
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Instead,
Gold
will
mark
the
actress's
first
collaboration
with
the
talented
filmmaker.
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Nayanthara
were
supposed
to
team
up
for
Arival
Chuttika
Nakshathram,
the
Mammootty
project
directed
by
Amal
Neerad.
But
the
project,
which
was
supposed
to
feature
Prithviraj
as
the
main
antagonist
and
Nayanthara
as
the
female
lead,
was
shelved
in
its
initial
stages
due
to
budget
constraints.
Coming
back
to
Gold,
the
highly
anticipated
project
is
scripted
by
director
Alphonse
Puthren
himself.
Thesni
Khan,
Shabareesh
Varma,
Krishna
Shankar,
and
others
essay
the
supporting
roles.
The
Prithviraj
Sukumaran-Nayanthara
project
is
bankrolled
by
Supriya
Menon
and
Listin
Stephen,
under
the
banners
Prithviraj
Productions
and
Magic
Frames.
